So I found this group and a great guy tonka Jim befriended me! Found out I live in his home town and live on lake minnetonka, we hooked up with boats and he introduced me to other glastroners! I grew close to jim,he was older than me and had more passion for these boats than anyone I ever met! I told him my father passed away and I would abuse him cuz I don't have a dad to ,advise argue borrow his stuff,he was ok with that! He was biggest cheerleader ( ugly but a rallyer) he would lend a hand and a part and a smart ass comment. Im building a metric that jim and I talked about and he wanted to help,but his health was failing. I got to tell and show him I was close to getting cap off,he was excited for me. Well he passed away and im making progress on the c500 ,but its bitter sweet cuz I csnt share my progress with my ornery old pal! TONKA JIM IM MAKING TRACKS BROTHER! I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. TEARS IN MY EYES! GOD SPEED JIMMY LOVE U BUDDY
